The present study was conducted to reveal a histological analysis on the gills of Labeo rohita and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix specimens were observed to reveal the histo-pathological characteristics of the gills of these freshwater carps. The histological examination of the gills of Labeo rohita revealed the proliferation of bronchial tips, shortening and fusion of secondary gill lamellae, des...

Fish a protein, vitamin rich and fat deficient diet is considered as a vital brain food. Aquaculture has emerged to provide nutritional and food security to people. The three Indian major carps, namely, catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) are the major contributor of Indian aquaculture production. The use of probiotics in aquaculture is becoming increasingly ...

Pain is the major sense in vertebrates that performs signaling and protective functions in the case of potential damage to the body. The problem of pain, which is of prime importance for humans, is extensively investigated in higher vertebrates [1], However, only a few works have attempted to study the sense of pain in fish. Verheijen [2] regarded a kind of "cough" observed in carps on damaging...

To study the toxic effects of phthalate esters on the aquatic creatures, carps were exposed to dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) of six different concentrations for 96 h-LC50 measurements. It shows that the 96 h-LC50 is 16.30 and 37.95 mg L(-1), thus the safe concentration (1/10LC(50)) is 1.63 mg L(-1). The activities of xanthine oxidase (XOD) and catalase (CAT) were ...

During the past three decades mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has declined dramatically. This is believed to be due to both declining incidence and improved survival in those with clinical disease although the contributions of public health programs on the one hand, and clinical interventions on the other, is hard to quantify. While aged standardised hospital admissions rates for ac...

ABSTRACT        Background and Objective: Raw fish is a highly perishable product that deteriorates due to chemical changes and microbial growth. Biogenic amines (BAs) are generated in course of bacterial spoilage in fish that may lead to BA toxicity, particularly in adverse storage conditions. The purpose of this study was to prevent the BAs toxicity caused b...
